Triveni Digital will showcase a new cloud-based version of its GuideBuilder metadata generation system at the 2012 NAB Show. This new version of the system leverages a Web-based GUI, centralized control and management capabilities, and a new network-based PSIP carousel download service to provide broadcasters with a low-maintenance, cost-effective method for generating the required PSIP elements of the ATSC signal.

By eliminating hardware infrastructure costs, the cloud-based service reduces a broadcaster's overall power and operational expenses. The turnkey system handles listing inputs for both legacy ATSC and ATSC M/H, enabling users to deliver accurate PSIP data for DTV services on TVs and mobile DTV-enabled PCs, smartphones, and tablet devices — all from a single, unified platform.

The new network-based PSIP carousel download service easily integrates with MPEG-2 encoders and multiplexers, creating a seamless installation without interrupting daily operations. Broadcasters can import program data from a wide variety of traffic systems, automation systems and commercial listing services, as well as manually added program information or customized data.

Through an intuitive, Web-based interface, multiple users can simultaneously access and manage program event information from any location. The cloud-based GuideBuilder service can be used in a variety of configurations, ranging from a single low-power station, a duopoly, or to multiple stations as part of a group environment.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
